Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Djibouti sits at about 12°N and is stretched to 1.04× its true area; Georgia at 42° N is stretched to 1.82×. That difference is why Georgia looks so much bigger than it is next to Djibouti. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
